Agreed on the frustration factor of Gink. A good buddy of mine (lets just call him Neal S. for privacy) came up with a good way to deal with the "too hot" predicament. Try running the bottle of Gink thru the stream water for a minute or so. This should help to lower the temp enough to get the gel-like consistency back.

Yeah, I do that sometimes, but in the heat of the summer, you might have to hold it in the water for several minutes while it cools down. I guess if I weren't so impatient, it wouldn't be a big deal. No time to waste with the guys I fish with. You stall for a second and they'll leap frog ya and catch all the fish in the hole i'm standing in

Man, you must fish with some real losers, Birdman! My suggestion for that is to finds yourself some new friends!

My fav dry is a suspender buzzer. I fish reservoirs in the UK and during the summer, this pattern can be a killer

Because of the use of CDC, floatant isn't usually needed, when tying them up, its worth tying a trial to see how much CDC is needed to keep it in the surface film.
You can see an example of one here:
